WinRAR 5.30 Beta 5 released

1. Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting archives recently published in news is incorrect. Unfortunately mass media failed to recognize that what was described as WinRAR vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014:
    
   Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
    
   Please read https://www.rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.
    
   No patches for WinRAR are needed.
    
   
2. "Import/Export" commands:
    
   
   1. WinRAR performs the additional validation of Settings.reg contents for "Import settings from file" command to prevent importing Registry keys unrelated to WinRAR settings;
       
      
   2. WinRAR specifies the full path to regedit.exe tool to prevent running copies of &quotregedit&quot from other folders.
   
    
   
3. Bugs fixed:
    
   
   1. If "file" and "file.exe" were present in the same folder and user double clicked on "file", WinRAR could start "file.exe" instead;
       
      
   2. "Generate report" command could create a report in wrong folder, not that with selected files;
       
      
   3. RAR could crash when unpacking .rar archives with corrupt file headers. Fixed now.
